    Look at the surface of the media by pushing the metal covering
over the access hole to one side.  Keep your fingers out and hold the
disk so you can see the reflection of a light source off the surface
of the media.  You should see an image of the light source.  Any
visible damage to the surface, especially circular lines, probably
means the data on the disk can't be recovered.
